David Seal shared thisI agree with Lawrence Rogak on this, No need to gut it. That would require a Constitutional Amendment anyway. Simply fix the Corruption of the College by the Duopoly: One simple law to set it right: Forbid the "Winner Take All" Apportionment of the Electors to the College that 48 of the states now have adopted, and force them back into the way that Maine and Nebraska does it: the only two states that still have the intent and vision of the Framers and the Founders. And since this is NOT election-related, and instead it is outcome-related, this is a law that could withstand Constitutional Muster, and would not require a new Amendment to do so. The States have the Elections: But the College can use the results as they see fit, under the venue of the Electoral College. And Congress is allowed to make a rule such as this. But would they have the Will Power? Right now, the entire system is rigged by Uniparty-Duopoly Party Patriots. And, if we went by Straight Voting, "None of the Above" should be an option, and it would win by a Landslide nearly every time under our current State of Affairs.David Seal shared thisDemocrats: Let’s do away with the electoral college and just let the majority pick the President. The Majority:

David Seal shared thisThe Canadians are calling their 8-lock 27 mile canal that all ships leaving or entering the Great Lakes to or from the Atlantic Ocean must use "The Strait of Our Moose." (Formerly The Welland Canal) Does Mr. Trump understand that $26.3 Billion of US trade moves through this canal each year? And that the Canadians have the sole authority of who may or may not travel this canal? And that they could also increase the transit fees for all US-Flagged ships or cargo to compensate for those nasty Tariffs? No, I don't think that he does.

David Seal shared thisBy law, the USA Oil Reserve must be refilled with US-sourced oil only. If Mr. Trump dumps his stolen Venezuelan oil into it, he is breaking that law. Has he no one in his cabinet that has enough spine to tell him this? Of course, Mr. Trump does seem to have total disdain for our laws, starting with our Constitution.David Seal shared thisKidnapping my neighbor and stealing his Porsche as a gift to ‘top off' my cars. Describing oil you are looting by force as a “Gift from Venezuela to the People of the United States” is straight mobster language.

David Seal shared thisThe passing of another great voice voice that has affected Generations. Peter Cullen, the Voice of Optimus Prime has recently passed away. My son thought it important enough to share that with me, along with this video: https://lnkd.in/gjSdmXUW "Be Strong Enough to be Gentle" He said a lot of people will understand this Meme. And even more the video.

David Seal shared thisWhat was your favorite Dolly Parton song? "Coat of Many Colors" is mine, because it was my Mother's too. It was one of the few songs she knew all the words to. https://lnkd.in/gQnPZujN Born into abject poverty in 1933, at home, in Muddy Pond, Tennessee, my mother told me that she too had "dresses of many colors", put together from smaller pieces of cloth, often scraps, and even from "rationed" feed bags during the Great War. She and her sisters often did. These were no shame to her: they were made with loving care, in the same way that Patchwork Quilts were made. And she was not alone: The mountains of Tennessee, even the lush and productive Cumberland Plateau were poor times for poor folks. They fell back on the Old Ways to survive. And I am here today only because they did so then. Later in life, my mother. Mary Carlos (Ramsey) Seal elevated the work to an Art Form, as did her Mother, Aunts, and Mother-in-law before her. And I have a collection of that art from them. Stored in Cedar Chests, and occasionally one given to those that have helped me survive and flourish. They are treasures beyond price to me, and if you have received one from me, it means that I love you. During the last two decades of her life, fearful that I would simply throw away here "Quiltin' Scraps", collected over a lifetime, and many inherited from her family after her passing, she set herself a mission: to use them all up. And she did. Over those twenty years, she averaged 1-2 quilts a month. She sold many of them, but also made them for my myriad Cousins as well. And her friends as well. And for me and my son. Three are shown below, with one, my "Medicine Wheel Quilt", made by by Grandmother Mary Ramsey, circa 1977.

David Seal shared thisFriday Funnies! First Meme from: Robert Switzer on FB. "Ships that enter the Great Lakes must travel through the Welland Canal. The 27-mile canal contains eight locks, and its entire length runs within Ontario, Canada. This means that $26.3 billion of American trade is dependent on having unimpeded access to a waterway entirely under Canadian jurisdiction. I bet Trump never thought about that." The second one? A predicted statement in the near future from POTUS.

David Seal shared thisFor those that do not understand Why Dolly Parton is an American Icon, Loved by Multitudes, it is because they do not understand The Words In Red. She grasped them as an integral part of her nature. She Lived being a Christian, as an Example for others. No preaching, no coercion: she was as I strive to be: A Witness for the Truth, and Of The Body of Christ. Yes, this is a true story. It is in one of her books, and can be verified by multiple sources. Hebrews 13:1-3 13 Let brotherly love continue. 2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. 3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. Amen

David Seal liked thisDavid Seal liked thisI decommissioned this power strip this past weekend, permanently this time. It has seen much use over 39 years, off and on. Most recently it was an extension to provide power to my small strip (two 120V, two USB) strip on my home desk. But it’s beginning was glorious. It powered my first computer, a Hyundai PC clone, dual 5.25 floppies and no hard drive, but with a modem that connected me at 1200 baud to the University of Buffalo’s VMS cluster. Through an orange monochrome monitor, I could read email, compile Fortran-77 programs, and chat around the world using IRC. This device saw service before my career began, so it’s fitting as I navigate the last part of my technology career that it bow out before me. It’s not going into the trash, however. Unlike the Hyundai, which was disposed of long ago, this will remain a tangible reminder to me of the humble beginnings of what would end up as a nearly four-decade career in tech.

Adaptive CHMSL Flasher
Issued US 9586522
An electronics device is configured for installation in the brake light circuitry of a vehicle braking system. The electronics device is particularly configured to provide a flashing or pulsing appearance for a brake light, such as an automobile CHMSL. The pulsing is accomplished in a precise manner and that provides additional operational safety features than standard automotive brake lights. The electronics device is configured to avoid over-triggering of the pulsating lights due to multiple…
An electronics device is configured for installation in the brake light circuitry of a vehicle braking system. The electronics device is particularly configured to provide a flashing or pulsing appearance for a brake light, such as an automobile CHMSL. The pulsing is accomplished in a precise manner and that provides additional operational safety features than standard automotive brake lights. The electronics device is configured to avoid over-triggering of the pulsating lights due to multiple application of the automobile's brakes in a short time frame. The unit automatically adapts to the type of light that is used, Incandescent or LED, automatically delivering the correct amount of current to the device so that it does not completely extinguish during pulsing, in accordance with DOT rules on flashing and pulsing automotive indicator lights.

The pulsing is accomplished in a precise manner and that provides additional operational safety features than standard automotive brake lights. The electronics device is configured to avoid over-triggering of the pulsating lights due to multiple application of the automobile's brakes in a short time frame. The electronics device is further configured to function correctly even if the automobile is equipped with sophisticated computer systems that analyze the brake light circuitry, and is configured to avoid detection as a problem by the vehicle's diagnostic systems. At the same time, the electronics device will still allow the vehicle's diagnostic scans to detect any actual problems with the brake light system without hindrance.
